. in Hair-Nets, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention relates to a hair net of novel construction which elfectively protects the hair from disarrangement, is of superior strength and may be readilyappliedf The accompanying drawing represents a perspective view of my improved hair net.

Hair nets, as now generally made, are exceedingly fragile, being composed of human hair or of thin silk threads, so as to be practically invisible when worn. Thus, these nets are very liable to tear, notonly by the pressure of the head dressing, but also b manipulation and by the hair pins used or holding them in position. By my invention, the net will beself-sustaining and will be so reinforced-at its most vulnerable points, that its life is considerably prolonged without sacrificing its invisible character.

I propose to form the net in the shape of a bag, which may be projected over the coiffure, to completely inclose the same. This bag is composed of three interknotted or interwoven sections, each of which has its own characteristics. The cup-shaped crown-section 1, which must sustain the main brunt of the pressure, is closely netted, being com posed of small meshes which are of superior strength, but of comparatively limited elasticity. The zone-shaped main section 2, which covers the bulk of the coifture is composed of meshes which are considerably larger than those vof section 1, so that the net is here practically invisible and of superior elasticity, so that it will readily conform itself to the peculiar style of dressing. As this portion of the net is not subjected to any severe strain, invisibility and elasticity are hereobtained at the expense of strength.

The lower section 3 of the net, which constitutes the rim of the bag, has forits object to exercise a contractile effect upon the edge of the bag, so that the latter firmly grips the hair and renders the bag self-sustaining. To this efiect this rim-section is also made of meshes which are considerably smaller than those of section 2, and which, in addition to their tendency of drawing the mouth of the-bag together, have the additional function of forming a reinforcement at the rim, which, of course, is subjected to severe strain, especially when the net is be ing put on.

If desired, an endless elastic cord 4 may be drawn through the net at a considerable distance from its edge, preferably at or near the junction of sections 1 and 2. This cord will assist the contractile rim-section 3 in holding the net in position, without disfiguring-the face, by extending over the forehead of the wearer.

' I claim:

I A hair net made of bag like form and comprising a small meshed cap-like apex, an annular large meshed central section, and a small meshed annular contractile rim:
